DETAIL OF CORNICE BLOCK WITH SETTING FOR PEDESTAL The cornicesare all flat on top except for the cut fore-edgejust described and so give no indication of the slope of the roof. On the tops of three of the preserved blocks there are dowel holes, ca. 04 m. square and cut to the same depth, two of which show a pour channel leading to the dowel holes, while the third one is only half preserved and the pour channel was probably on the missing fragment.
The eastern one is ca. 29 m. high and rests on a fill of earth and small stones ca. 08 m. thick that is above the foundation course of the south wall. 41 m. high, has had the foundation course hacked down ca. 10 m. 07 m. lower than that of the other block. There are no cuttings in either block, but on the eastern one there are light traces of marks from the swinging of a door. There was probably a double door here, of which only the eastern side swung open. The thresholdis about level with the foundation for the western one of the two late walls that divided this southern section of the building into three parts and, like them, the doorway must belong to the latest phase of the building.
25 m. It may have been used for a centering post during construction. Blocks of the superstructure of a few of the late piers still remain in place and a few others have been moved only slightly from their original position. In all of these piers the top foundation block extended ca. 08 m. above the contemporary tile floor and these blocks are in place on the south end pier (P1. 4 3) of the eastern row and in the first pier from the north in the western row (PI. 10 3); on the latter pier the block above is also in situ.
